IF YOU WERE HERE

If you were here…

I would touch you and hold you and let you cry until all the pain subsidesAs I whispered in your ear how I could never allow myself to hurt you like that againThat there is never a reason to let myself go at your expense…never an excuse, Never any pardon for anger strong enough to damage the sum of what we share.

I would stroke your cheek, play in your hair, kiss your foreheadAnd try my best make you feel secure in the most insecure moment of us

I would caress your body – and pull you close to meSqueezing you tight, to make you feel my heartSkipping beats from the pain I’d caused you

I would not say I love you – because I’d know in this momentYou’d need to feel…and hearing would fall on deaf ears…

So I would stroke you – allow you to place my hands where you desired them most…Allow you to take whatever you wanted, needed from meGiving you all…Without wordsUntil I cried your tearsAnd the river of us flowed into the oceanUntil the river of us ran dry…Until the river of us was reborn from the depths of the EarthAnd thus made whole

If you were here – none of this would be…If you were here – I’d be more like me…If you were here…If only you were here…
